Scholarships

Tuesday, October 9, 2018

Thank You!

Thank you
to all who have donated to date. My heart is full of gratitude for your
kindness and generosity in such a very short period of time. We look forward to
sharing both your and our contributions to serve those in the community who are
working so hard to help themselves and their families by furthering their
education.

To keep
you in the loop, we have reached out to multiple local colleges to spread the
word about our efforts, as well as scheduling a meeting with the President of The
Georgia Center for Nonprofits.

Other
than getting our website updated, we’ve completed all of the required ancillary
tasks to date, as communicated in recent posts. We’ve created a scholarship committee
and will soon be posting available scholarships for students to apply for, along
with directions as to how to do so.

More to follow
as we keep you updated with our progress. Thanks for all you do to help people help themselves....

Backstory: When my father died of cancer at 44 years of age, he left a small piece of property in Louisville, Kentucky to be split between me and my siblings. His instructions were to divide the proceeds and establish trust funds for each of our children to help pay for college. My father never graduated from high school, despite being quite bright, and after watching folks pass him up for promotions at the railroad where he had worked for 25 years, came to value the power of an education. That initial $7,000 investment for my daughter grew and helped pay for her college several years later.

Mission: Provide $500 scholarships to working students to help with books, fees, etc. These scholarships would be funded by people in the names of a person of their choice in a field of study (and maybe even a specific school). The student would apply for the scholarship, and, if accepted, send a letter or email of thanks to the person donating the money.

Proof of Concept: I gave away several scholarships out of pocket last December. Seeing the look of relief on those young scholar's faces was priceless, as was listening to them talk about how they would use the money towards books or minor obstacles that regularly arise.
